If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Don't stress too much about the application process. It's designed to be straightforward and they walk you through each step. Just take your time and read the instructions.
Thanks, I really appreciate all the encouragement from everyone here.
This community is great for unemployment questions. Lots of people who've been through it before.
last thing - keep track of all your job applications and work search activities from day one. Washington ESD can audit your job search log and you need to have documentation.
WorkSourceWA website has tools for tracking job searches too if you prefer using their system.
Yeah the WorkSource job search log is pretty convenient and Washington ESD accepts it automatically.

Final tip for everyone - keep all your documentation organized. Pay stubs, separation paperwork, correspondence from Washington ESD. If they ever audit your claim or you need to appeal something, you'll need all of it.
Good advice. I've been keeping everything in a folder but should probably scan it all too.
Definitely scan or take photos. Digital copies are easier to submit if they request documentation online.
This thread has been super helpful! I was worried about the whole process but it seems more straightforward than I thought. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences.
Agreed! I feel much more confident about my claim now. This community is great.
Happy to help. We've all been through the unemployment process and know how stressful it can be. Good luck with your claim!

One more thing - if you get denied for any reason, you have the right to appeal. Don't just accept a denial if you think it's wrong. The appeals process exists for a reason.
How long do you have to file an appeal?
You have 30 days from the date of the determination to file an appeal. Don't wait until the last minute though.
I used Claimyr last month when I couldn't get through to Washington ESD about my adjudication issue. Definitely worth it if you're stuck and need to talk to someone quickly. The wait times are just insane otherwise.
How long did it take them to connect you?
Way faster than trying on my own. Actually got to speak with an agent who could look up my case and explain what was happening.

Make sure you're checking your eServices account regularly for any notices or requests for additional information. Sometimes claims get delayed because people miss important messages.
I check it every day but so far just shows 'processing'. No requests for additional info yet.

The safety complaint angle is really important. Document everything you can remember about the unsafe conditions and when you reported them. That could be key evidence if they try to claim you were fired for legitimate performance reasons.

•That's smart. The more detailed your records, the better your case will be during adjudication.
